Small museum inside a bridgehouse. Five stories. Very interesting on how the bridges work. Definitely stop by if you walking along the river walk.

Such a great exhibit. The story of the river’s life is well told and the seeing the bridge mechanism was impressive! Being located right on the River Walk at the Michigan Ave Bridge is so convenient. So nice that it is only $5 admission. Definitely recommend!

Loved this place ! Saw it on Groupon and thought it would be cool. We were not disappointed. Each room was a different theme. Totally recommend.
